Scheurmanns kyphosis, could i reduce the curvature in my back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop progression: I've had experience w/ marked kyphosis, but not Scheurmann's, specifically.The latter is due to wedging of vertebra.I have, with prolotherapy, been able to halt progression of severe kyphosis & reduce discomfort,but not reverse the process.There may be surgical options, but if you are experiencing no pain, I'd consider carefully.Prolo may provide enough help.If not, can try less conservative care.
